CompuExpert announced today that PC flight- simulation Rise of Flight:
The First Great Air War, developed by Russian developer neoqb and
published by 777 Studios, is now available throughout North America at
traditional retail outlets, as well as via major online game retailers
including GoGamer.com and Amazon.

Rise of Flight is the eagerly anticipated World War I PC
flight-simulation title from Moscow-based developer neoqb. The flight
simulator, set in the Western Front in 1917, was built on the newly
developed Digital Nature engine. More than 125,000 square kilometers of
the territory have been redrawn from 20th Century maps. Rise of Flight
allows virtual pilots to fly the famous Spad XIII and deadly Fokker
D.VII biplanes in exciting dogfight battles. Featuring advanced
physics, flight and damage models, Rise of Flight promises a realistic,
challenging and fun experience for simulation fans of all stripes and
skill levels. Rise of Flight also implements full 6 DOF TrackIR support
and is compatible with the TripleHead2Go multi-monitor system from
Matrox.

Rise of Flight has already drawn praise from critics. IGN.com
lauded the game's art and customizability, saying "amazing graphics,
with loads of options to customize the experience for the best
performance." World War I Air Combat said Rise of Flight, "the most
realistic WWI flight sim, in many ways the most realistic flight sim
yet released, is soon bound for the hands of eager virtual pilots
everywhere."

Rise of Flight includes a Training Campaign and Single Player
missions so players can hone their aerial combat skills. Once they are
ready, flyers can embark on a Pilot Career that includes six stages
from lieutenant to colonel, and begin one of several campaigns with
squadrons for the French, British, German or American air forces.
Throughout their careers, players can win awards, commendations and
promotions for successfully completing their missions.

Mission types in Rise of Flight include fighter sweeps, bomber
escort, bomber interception, balloon attack and ground attack. If they
wish, players can use the powerful Mission Builder to create custom
scenarios of their own and share them with their friends.

Flight-sim enthusiasts can also play with their friends over
the Internet and wage their own virtual air wars against rival online
squadrons. Even the greatest of Aces in World War I had a wingman, and
Rise of Flight multiplayer action focuses on cooperative teamwork and
completion of mission goals. Whichever way you choose to play Rise of
Flight, it will surely thrill and excite any simulation fan.

Planned additions to the Rise of Flight experience in the
coming months include more flyable aircraft, scenery, objects and
features. Hurry! Grab your goggles, leather helmet and silk scarf.
Enemy planes are approaching!
